How are you going to spend the longest weekend of the year?

EASTER weekend is almost here, and for many of us, that means big nights out, long lie-ins, and meet-ups with mates. We've rounded up some of the best things to do this bank holiday weekend in Manchester from sushi under the cherry blossoms at Australasia, to a Latin dance party at Ramona. 

Check out our Easter things to do for families if you're looking for child-friendly ideas, and head over to Confidential Guides for inspiration on Easter days out, walks, Sunday lunches and more.
